Why does useradd cause a GLib-CRITICAL error?
 

The script I'm using fails at the useradd command with the following message:
(gksudo:2942): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed

The useradd command is:
self.do_run_in_chroot("useradd -s %s -c '%s' -G sudo -m %s" % ("/bin/bash", setup.real_name, setup.username))

More details are at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=189&p=565740&sid=5c6825a8521aa1383 c649b74a7f70dc2#p565740 .

Exactly what is necessary to make sure that the useradd command works properly?

So it's "gksudo" who complains? :-?

I don't know what can be the problem. How you considered asking also at
"debian-devel" mailing list?
